3ww

she is not delicate; she is like the night, a jaded lover turning
blue beneath a bleeding sun. she is a little warm death.

So sad, makes my heart ache. So much emotion in so few words.

There is so much emotion here, but I don't take away sadness. I came away in awe of the descriptiveness in such few words. Thanks for this.

Hi I am just looking through blogs and I found yours interesting and would like to invite you to become my friend. I have a mild art blog and I am always looking to make new friends, are you up to it?

I hope to see you soon, take care

Thanks mgirl, Thom and jesse. The little warm death isn't original. I heard it in a song sung by Cassandra Wilson, an incredible singer from Mississippi. If you don't know her work, check her out.

not so much as sad but just someone who doesn't quite know how to live

Hi Lissa,
I looked up the reference where I first heard the phrase. "A Little Warm Death" is on Wilson's "New Moon Daughter" album, 1995. The woman in the song is very much alive in the song. If you can, listen to the track. I bought quite bit of Wilson's work in during the 90s.

Funny you use the word "blue" to describe her as warm because blue has always meant cold to me. This made me think.
